(Those are the 3 most important parts). Well said. There was much more to it than just collecting, you also had to recognize it was something different. And then you had to know to have a professional look at it. And then be willing to donate it for study. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeargleSchmeargl Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 On 4/28/2015 at 3:07 PM, PFOOLEY said: Just a little update on this ammonite. It is indeed a new species (in the process of being described) and "is the first record of Parapuzosia (Austiniceras) in the Cenomanian of North America". A first for New Mexico was cool, but a first for North America is ice cold. I'm so jelly! It's not every day you get to be the first to discover a species! Awesome! Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
